All Anna Xu wants to do as she starts freshman year at the local prestigious Brookings University is keep up her stellar academic performance, break out of her shell, be more social ... and investigate the unsolved on-campus murder of her former babysitter six years ago.
And if that wasn't difficult enough, it seems that Chris Lu, whose family are the Xu's business rivals, is attending Brookings too. There's no way they can be friends. Until a vandal attacks the Lu's bakery and Anna puts the perpetrator's call sign together with a clue from her investigation into the cold-case murder.
When a very specific threat is made to Anna, she is forced to team up with Chris to undertake a dangerous search into the hate crimes happening around campus. Can they root out the current threat or will the town's ugly history take them down?©2022 Katie Zhao (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
Dark, thrilling mystery. Readers who love Karen M. McManus will enjoy this fast-paced, dramatic story
This standout prep school murder mystery ... [is] an enticing new treat for fans of Pretty Little Liars and Karen McManus
...this is one that fans of Sara Shepard and Karen McManus will kill to read
I really enjoyed the mystery plot and how the story highlighted rascism within institutions and generally the society we live in today and what it means to feel unsafe in somewhere that should be thought as home.
I feel like uncovering the mystery could’ve been dragged on a little longer with more happening or had more depth but apart from that I loved it!
Murder mystery, coming of age and a dash of romance, what more could you ask for!
Amazingg!!
